Appeal for aid for Colombia
PA Wellington A target $650,000 is being sought by the National Council of Churches for its fortieth Christmas Appeal. “More than 100 aid and development projects in some 40 countries will be funded by the appeal,” said the N.C.C. aid director, the
Rev. Brian Turner. Emergency aid for Colombia would be a priority this year, he said. The N.C.C. Christmas appeal began in 1945 as an expression of peace and hope after World War n. This year the theme is “Peace on Earth ... Help it happen.” Mr Turner said the
emphasis was on peace with justice. The projects aimed at “preventing war and building up a climate of peace by providing needy people with the basic necessities of food, water, health care, education, work, and a home,” Mr Turner said.
